If, when you start an XVI batch, the DATA_CONTROL lock is set by an import process run by the background import service on the Server, you will see a message asking if you want it to wait and then run or cancel. (see application setup/lock table)
Imports run 4 times a day, starting with the arrival of the TBA "finished" file from HBCIS, this morning 05:45, The main Campus TLA is expected to take longer so the others will have finished by then. The system looks for the main Campus TLA finished file only.

And this morning the load completed at 06:10, the morning load is one of the "night moves" loads so is usually a little longer, but the longest will be the 21:18 load

So say half an hour, it does vary so
So for you at TBA, Not between 11:45 and 12:15, and 15:45 and 15:15 is safe
If you start a batch at 11:44 it should hold the import till the batch is finished.., so don’t be surprised if you can't run another batch.
Your scheduled XVIP will run at 05:15-ish and will add to that time but if you want to XVI then that’s fine J
Application setup / HOST control option shows the three schedules of the start of the HBCIS process
You have three boxes, but one is not yours to control.. J
